@DonKeller5@mjs_DC healthcare for women in this country is abysmal. the rate of maternal death is the highest of all developed countries & black women die at an even higher rate. I certainly would not want to be black & pregnancy in this country & certainly not the south
Prayers for your beautiful wife and family. Urge her doctors to consider cardiac postpartum complications - it is uncommon to happen 15 months out but researchers know it is more common in women of color and up to one year postpartum. Keeping you all in my prayers.
You don’t need to be confident.
You just need to meet your life with presence, courage, and an openness to starting again.
And again, and again, and again.
Confidence will grow from there.

Indiana has the fifth highest gas tax in the country, a 6 billion dollar budget surplus, yet we rank 47th for maternal mortality, 50th in clean water, 42nd in teacher pay (and a 3000 teacher shortage) fiscal responsibility means you fix your leaky roof, and we have a leaky roof.
High infant and maternal mortality are systemic and orientation driven. Personnel, training and service delivery also play a role. We will unite ad incentivize health workers,
